Usually the agency provides a one bedroom apt. or provides a subsidy for approximately the same amount (subsidy may be slightly less). I always take the provided housing, but on occasion have asked them to get me a two bedroom if family or friends will be spending extended time with me. Usually this will cost me about $200 to $250 extra a month (includes the cost of the larger apt. and extra bedroom furniture rental). They take this out of my check divided in half - half the amt. from each biweekly check.
Sometimes I have ended up with larger places - two or 3 bedroom without requesting them if no one bedroom places are available. In those cases I don't get charged for the extra rooms because that is what they could get.

For those who travel with spouse/kids, what are housing options like? Obviously we need a two bedroom (only 1 child) but are the subsidies enough to be really helpful? I'm just wondering how much, on average, I can expect to have to pay for housing. Not going to travel for another year and a half, but I'm looking at agencies, and I'd like to find one that offers a nice housing subsidy - unfortunately, we want to go to all the "expensive" places first, haha - Hawaii, Florida, California, New York!
